Make a Coat! - Students make replicas of coats using different materials and representing varying historical periods. Upon completion students identify that some historical and present-day sources of clothing are plants and animals; collect and analyze data to infer the sources of most materials used in clothing today; and distinguish between some examples of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources. Requires butcher paper or large shopping bags; scissors; paint; crayons; yarn; wool scraps; heavy thread and needle.
